Police had been called to the Lakeland Manor banquet hall on Harper Avenue about 6:30 p.m. Witnesses said they saw a man standing outside armed with a gun. When officers arrived, the man ignored police commands and ran. Axe, a K-9 officer with the St. Clair Shores Police Department, was sent after the suspect.
